Colin Kaepernick’s lawsuit against the NFL continues through the discovery phase. Lawyers for the former NFL quarterback had the opportunity to put various NFL and team personnel through depositions over the past couple months. On Tuesday, NFL lawyers had the chance to depose Kaepernick.
The deposition was behind closed doors, but Yahoo! Sports columnist Charles Robinson reported on what the NFL was expected to focus on:
“[T]he NFL is likely to concentrate on Kaepernick’s mental outlook once he entered free agency in March of 2017, and whether he corrupted his free-agent market through a series of factors relating to football skills, contract expectations and motivation to play.
